Drove a few km to Lawn Hill Gorge, hired a canoe and paddled up through the gorge. It was absolutely beautiful! The river is deep and clear,and the gorge is alive with the sound of birds. There were lots of fish:
We arrived at some small waterfalls, where we had to left the canoe out and carry it to the river above, then we continued upstream to where the river runs through some shallow sections into a deep and wide pool. We just sat quietly and looked and listened as we drifted back downstream.
After carrying the canoe back past the waterfalls we had a swim then continued downstream to our starting point. The two hour trip cost $75, well worth it!
Back at Adels Grove we had lunch then went down through the Grove to the river for a swim/swing.
Dinner was followed by marshmallow toasting and a walk down to the Grove to see if we could see any snakes, apparently there are lots of pythons but we didn’t see any, just hundreds of Cane Toads.
